Oh poor Rose. It's heartbreaking to think how much she suffered. Others buried without even the dignity of a stone bearing their name. The cruelty is unforgivable. Thank You for finding this Sue. Rose, and all those buried there, are no longer forgotten. Sue has brought your resting place to people who care.

It shows you how cruel society was back then, I never heard of a situation of a person being committed because they wouldn’t live with the person they were supposed to marry. Incredible. And yes the names were pretty cruel to. Here they were called “lunatic asylum‘s”. For the “feeble minded”. Pretty reprehensible by today’s standards.

Back when I was studying to be a nurse ( many, many years ago), I took an elective course on psychiatric nursing, which was on site at a 19 th century psychiatric hospital, St. Elizabeth’s, in Washington DC ( famous for housing John Hinkley after he shot President Reagan). Oh the stories I could tell, some funny, some scary, but most just unbelievably heartbreaking. The cruelty of both the institutions, the staff, and especially families of patients sent there at the turn of the century would make you sob. One section housed individuals who had been there since the early 1900’s (this was 1979), who could never function outside an institution because of the barbaric things done to them in the name of medicine. They each had charts (files) that dated back to when they were admitted which had a photo of them at the time of their admission. Some of them were gorgeous, but all looked absolutely “normal”. I cannot tell you the number of people we cared for that were admitted for ‘promiscuity’, homosexuality, belligerence, and other ridiculous reasons. We were told by some of the old nurses who worked there that many people were sent to places like St. E’s because there was money at stake from inheritance and family members didn’t want to share. But after years of confinement, that included incredibly powerful drugs, electric shock treatments, and lobotomies, they were left just shells of human beings.

Ooh that's so very very sad, thank God we have moved on, I'm an SNA working with children with special needs, to think back then children like these were left in these very places by families who couldn't care for them didn't want to or were forced to do so, I know many went in being of full mind and well able people to be turned into shells of humans as you say, so many died of disease and old age in there, many by their own hand or of others, so so sad 💔

A very sad story indeed. Thank you Sue for finding this graveyard, no names but we remember them all now. It was common practice and so easy to have a family member committed in days gone by, for reasons that are totally ludicrous. If a daughter or wife did not fit in or spoke out about the way they were treated. If abused young girls, daughters, nieces etc got to old to comply or got pregnant. If they refused to marry in arranged marriage. Plain looking or disfigured. Excuses were made and donations of large amounts of money were made to just make people disappear. Also up until the late 1970's it was custom in UK to put any child who was different, say with Downs syndrome, Spinabifida, MS or cerebral palsy in these places or Childrens Homes so society didn't see them or mix with them. Thank goodness the World has come a long way since then, we now regard these as special people and special children and love them just as much, maybe even more. I have worked with adults and children with special needs in my nursing career, and found them to be beautiful and loving with so much to give. Thank you Sue 💕🇦🇺
